Service
Rapid Prototyping
Rapid prototyping is functional prototype development directly from CAD data using 3D printing, CNC machining, and vacuum casting, typically delivered within days.
What's included
- Multiple processes in-house: 3D printing, CNC machining, and vacuum casting handled at one facility, no supplier coordination required.
- Quotes within 24 hours: engineering review included with every quote, not just a price.
- ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing: inspection records available on request for every order.
- No minimum order: single prototypes accepted across all processes.

About this service
Rapid prototyping is functional prototype development directly from CAD data, typically within days. It covers multiple manufacturing processes (including 3D printing, CNC machining, and vacuum casting) each suited to different materials, geometries, and volumes.
The purpose is to reduce development time and validate designs before committing to production tooling. A physical part reveals fit, form, and function problems that a screen cannot.
What Sets Us Apart
- Multiple processes in-house: 3D printing, CNC machining, and vacuum casting handled at one facility, no supplier coordination required.
- Quotes within 24 hours: engineering review included with every quote, not just a price.
- ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing: inspection records available on request for every order.
- No minimum order: single prototypes accepted across all processes.
Our Rapid Prototyping Services
- 3D Printing - SLA, SLS, FDM, and metal 3D printing for rapid concept models, functional prototypes, and master patterns. Suitable for complex geometries and fast turnaround.
- CNC Machining - 3-, 4-, and 5-axis milling and turning in metal and plastic. Suitable for tight-tolerance, production-representative parts where material properties matter.
- Vacuum Casting - Small series of plastic parts cast in polyurethane resins using silicone molds. Suitable for appearance and functional validation before tooling investment.
